[quote=Anonymous]No one has yet to mention one very obvious fact: your teens, and tweens, and elementary school kids are not just influenced by… you. Your son could have picked this up from a buddy at school, a coach, the media, a friend’s parent. So maybe ask him next time what triggered this line of thinking before you go down the road of worrying it’s due to your diet! If he explicitly says it’s your talk about dieting, then put it into context. “I’m dieting because I gained too much weight and need to prevent cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, etc so I can live to be around for you. But YOU are a teen boy who needs to grow and so your nutritional needs are different.” [/quote]
